***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***
After clocking 10,000 entries under 24 hours, we’re already back to crown a random winner of the SINGER One sewing machine. The lucky person is… Angela (who says she’s a 1 on the sewing skills scale: “I can sew a straight line, but only if someone threads the machine for me first”). Congrats!
I’ve never touched a sewing machine in my life, but I’ve heard Sherry’s passionate muttering from the next room while using hers. Which is why anything labeled “Our easiest to use machine!” sounds compelling. And we’re so (sew?) excited that Singer is helping us give away a SINGER One – a feature-packed sewing machine that retails for nearly $500 – to one lucky reader! Something about an Automatic Needle Threader and OneTouch stitch selection sounds “approachable.” Plus the 24-available stitch patterns makes me believe you could fake your way into some pretty fancy stuff. Oh, and did we mention that Singer will ship this puppy anywhere in the world?
- PRIZE: A SINGER One sewing machine (a $499 value!)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SEW ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …where do you rank yourself on the sewing skills continuum? Are you a 1 like me (I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag)? A self-proclaimed 3 like Sherry (who could probably make “a wonky bag”)? Or are you more like a 10 (who could not only sew a bag from scratch, but do so blindfolded)?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide (we always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond the US – more on that here).
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Harinee says
SEW ME!
I’m a 0.5, as I don’t own a sewing machine right now, but I’m fairly good with a needle and thread! Sewing on a button counts as “fair”, doesn’t it?
Lee Ann says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 – haven’t sewed in years and years
Pauline says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m around a 2. I can hand sew buttons or a dog bed cover but you don’t want me sewing anything more complicated than that. Straight seams and I are not friends.
Kelly says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 3. I like to make little things for my daughter, but it’s always struggle- lol.
Erica says
Sew me a #1 :)
B.Rose says
Sew Me!
Yvonne says
SEW ME!!! I range from 3-5, took a sewing class in middle school. I was one of the top sewers in my class but I’ve never taken another class! So I’m as good as a middle schooler sewing scholar, LOL!
Rhonda says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m about a 6 or 7. I paid really good attention in Home Economics in high school… ;)
Do they even have home ec anymore?!
Yancey says
SEW ME!
I’m by no means a professional seamstress but I would say I’m a solid 7 on the scale, meaning I haven’t tailored clothes or anything.
Cari says
Sew Me!
I would like to think that I’m a 2-3 but I haven’t sewed since Home Ec in High School. I really want to get back into it though.
Veronica says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 1, aspiring to be a solid 5.
missysoupy says
SEW ME!
…I’m certainly a one. Pretty lame. But my 9 year old daughter has been stichin’ up the neighborhood kids’ torn stuffed animals (errr…mostly because our puppy likes to chew on them. Ahem… oops.). She would love to *really* learn to sew, and I’d love to learn along side her.
Emily says
SEW ME!! I’ve always wanted to be a “sew-er” but haven’t ever gotten around to it. I would LOVE this awesome give-away so I can finally get my CRAFT on!!
Yao says
SEW ME! And I’m probably a 1.5, maybe a 2 on a good day. But I really want to make my own tote bags. :)
Carrie says
Sew me please.
I’d probably rank myself a 6 on the sewing scale? I’m usually too chicken to try much more than pillow covers though or a Halloween costume if I’m really in a pinch. (I loved Clara’s this year, btw!!!).
laura says
sew me!
i’m going to rate myself a 2…but i’m eager to improve :)
Kelly R says
SEW ME! I’m a 2 at best. I try, but man! My attempts are weak and wonky.
Katelyn says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4. I learned to sew with my mom when I was younger, but only easy straight stitches for her quilts. I got a very simple two-stitch (straight or zig-zag) sewing machine last year and have been working to develop my sewing skills again. So far I’ve made a simple quilt top, headbands, stuffed animals, a curtain, and pillows. I’d love to have a better machine!
Alicia says
SEW ME!
I’d say i’m a solid 5. I can get the job done but it’ll take me a while!
Lauren M. says
SEW ME!! I am a 1 but hopefully that will change very soon!
Christina Min says
SEW ME!
I just made a new cover for a ottoman that was picked out from a thrift store for 8 bucks. It took me one day to learn bout sewing machine, one day for prep work and two days of actual sewing (including piping and zipper back). so, am I about 2 or 3?
Tracy says
SEW ME! :)
I am a 3 – I can sew a wonky bag and a crooked hemline.
I need practice…help me.
heather f says
sew me. I start out well. then the bobbin gets tangled and the fur flies
Ashley Pena says
Sew me please! I think I’m probably about a three, may be three and a half. :) but I have high hopes! Cue the song!
Rachel Savage says
Sew me! Maybe a 3 or 4…I always get caught thinking ‘yeah I could make that’ and then halfway through realize why there are proper rules and ways to sew that I don’t really know! Merry Christmas from Australia x
Melissa says
I am definitely a 1 but want to learn, so SEW ME!
Faz says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3. My husband’s a 3 too. So that makes us a 6 – we’d love to have this machine and go all the way up to 11, at least!
Stephanie Sentelle says
SEW ME!
I am probably about a 3 like Sherry. When I was young, I would visit my grandma in Oregon and she would teach us how to sew. Unfortunately, those lessons didn’t stick with me but I have been dying to get back into it! So many fun things to make with a sewing machine!
Julie Cacioppo says
Sue me….no, Sew me!
Thanks for the give aways!
Kyria says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 3 as well, I could do a wonktastic bag.
Judy Ansley says
Sew me! Just need the time to sew!
Katie M. says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2, but maybe I’m being generous! My mom can sew like no ones business but I haven’t quite got her skills. Would love a machine to learn on!!
tanne says
Sew me!!! I just took a sewing class this weekend. We made a wonky tote bag! I need a sewing machine now that I have mad totes skills!
Julie says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 1.5 with the machine, a 5 with small hand sewing jobs and a 9 with iron-on seam sewing :)
steph says
SEW ME! I’m a 1…at best.
Dana R says
SEW ME! I am a 1. I have to get my 12-year old to help me when I have to sew. I am sure a proper sewing machine will help me though.
Charlene Jones says
SEW ME!!! I’m a one. I have always wanted to learn and do well with hand sewing, embroidery but, have never learned to use a machine.
Jenn C says
SEW ME! I’m a 1! I almost failed Teen Living class in Junior High bc I couldn’t sew a tote bag satisfactorily. I’m 34 and still can’t…but I really want to be able to just sew a curtain!
Kaija Kantola says
SEW ME! I’m a 6!
Kenny Gomez says
SEW ME! I’m a 0, but I would love to learn and become a 4 or 5!

SEW ME! I’m probably a 2 but I want to be a 10!

SEW ME!

SEW ME!
I am going to have to go with a 0 on this one…
Crystal says
SEW ME!
I’m a 0-1… but, it’s been on my to-do list to learn how to sew and to invest in a machine, this could be the kick in the pants that I need to really get going! :)
Sanya says
SEW ME!
4. I probably used to be a 5, but my skills have probably gotten a bit rusty because it’s been years since I’ve sewn regularly. A new machine would fix that, though!
Trish Olive says
SEW ME. Probably a 2. Would love to be a 5.
